Melby Yoke

Sale price$9.00

This cropped cardigan is worked in one piece from the bottom up with a steek. Sleeves and body are joined at underarm for yoke and Sunday Short Rows are worked before the color work pattern to raise the back of the sweater. The body length can easily be made longer by working more rows but extra yarn must be factored in.

Video tutorials for steeking are linked in the pattern.
